News| High numbers indicate Covid-19 Omicron wave will likely peak soon, say experts

[snapp]

Health Minister Ong Ye Kung's comment to healthcare workers that a return to normalcy was within Singapore's grasp, coming on the back of record high infection numbers that topped 26,000 on Tuesday (Feb 22), took some people by surprise.

But in truth, it does reflect his grasp of Covid-19 transmissions.

Based on the experiences of other countries where the Omicron wave has already peaked, a sharp rise in cases usually foreshadows a fall in numbers, signalling the end of a Covid-19 wave.

"I suspect the peak will be soon (if it wasn't yesterday!)," said Associate Professor Alex Cook, an expert in healthcare modelling at the National University of Singapore's Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health. He expects the wave to peak within a fortnight.
